NJDfan1711 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Sharks seem like a team that just hasn't been able to put it all together to make a good run. At times they've had really good offense (Couture, Hertl, Meier, hell, they even had Cheechoo lead the league in goals back in the day!), good defense (Burns, Karlsson), and somewhat decent goaltending (Niemi, Jones, Dell). Definitely seems like their "window", if they really had one, is closing, if not already shut. Not sure what they can do besides a full tear down and rebuild, which has to be tough for their fanbase.

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted March 10, 2023 Author Share Posted March 10, 2023 1 hour ago, Nicomo said: They’re wasting a hell of a season from Karlsson, too. The good news is that Karlsson potentially flirting with 100 points makes him much more tradeable, even with the insane amount of money still due him. No one was touching him based on his 2020-21 and 2021-22 seasons; now maybe there's at least some kind of chance that the Sharks can get out from under that contract. That being said, he's still not terribly desirable...any team that trades for him is paying absolute top dollar for his Age 33-36 seasons...and gotta think the Sharks will have to pick up some of that tab (at least $3 million AAV) before anyone even considers adding him to their payroll (and the Sharks already have dead space). It could wind up being that whatever good seasons Karlsson has left do indeed wind up getting wasted on a bad Sharks team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lateralous Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Flyers have fired Chuck Fletcher. Too bad, he was doing a really good job of tearing that club apart. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing Torts has made them just good enough to not be the favorites to land Bedard. Cause that is basically an AHL roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to see if the next guy decides to keep Torts on. 14 minutes ago, Nicomo said: Good thing Torts has made them just good enough to not be the favorites to land Bedard. Cause that is basically an AHL roster. That seems to be over...they've been awful for a while now...4-10-4 in their last 18. They were actually 20-20-7 at one point...obviously still bad, but not horrific. I get the feeling that they'll keep sinking...but yeah, probably not enough to land in the bottom three. Lots of sh!t teams down there along with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They definitely had a window. Going all the way back to Nabokov’s rookie year, they actually had a really good two decades and did make a Stanley Cup final against the Pens but yeah, it looks like they need to tear it all down and start over at this point. My understanding is that ownership wants a re-tool. Good luck with that. I think they’re beyond that point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should? If we win I’ll be happy but the Canes are an absolute wagon. I don’t expect to beat them. Feels like they haven’t lost back-to-back games very often this season.

Since the Devils snapped out of that 1-7-1 funk (their only one this entire season, really, as far as banking points goes), they’re 21-5-4. The Canes have gone 21-7-2. It’s funny, as much as for us it’s “Geez do those guys EVER lose?!”, for them it has to be “We can’t friggin’ shake that team!” 21-7-2 is plenty great, and the Devils have managed to pick up two points on the Canes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
